This commit rewrites the whole type section to (hopefully) be better structured and future proof for further additions to the type system. * Each type now gets their individual page instead of being shoved in the type declaration page. * A type system page is added which describes PHP's type system, regardless if it is possible to declare the type in userland or not. Therefore, the type declaration page only has information related to writing type declarations in userland. * The description of strict_type and the type coercion is moved into the type juggling page. * Remove outdated information in string implementation section * Add paragraph about using non string in string context can throw Co-authored-by: Christoph M. Becker <cmbecker69@gmx.de>

<type>void</type> is a return-only type declaration indicating the
|
|
function does not return a value, but the function may still terminate.
|
|
Therefore, it cannot be part of a
|
|
<link linkend="language.types.type-system.composite.union">union type</link>
|
|
declaration. Available as of PHP 7.1.0.

|
|
Even if a function has a return type of <type>void</type> it will
|
|
still return a value, this value is always &null;.
